If you have a passion for perfectly prepared pasta, try making your own delectable lasagna noodles, fettuccine, or linguine fini with this pasta roller set that fits all KitchenAid stand mixers. The three attachments include a pasta roller, a fettuccine cutter, and a linguine fini cutter. Just prepare pasta dough and form it into small rectangles which are then fed into one of the attachments. Out come uniform lasagna noodles, fettuccine, linguine, or angel hair pasta. The pasta can be enjoyed fresh or frozen or dried for later. Complete directions, cooking tips, and recipes are included, though cleaning the attachments can be a bit of a challenge, as they can't be washed in water, and any dried-on pasta particles must be removed with the included cleaning brush and toothpicks.

Excellent product
I purchased this about 7 or 8 months ago and because I desired to make my own pasta.I began using the roller without experience.The first time I used it, I made ravioli, which was very delicious.The part I've never been good at is making the dough, and I finally found a good book called The Pasta Bible by Rizzi et al. That book helped me, but I'm still not perfect.The dough recipes always seem to require too much flour.
Home made = Wonderful
These could not be easier to use, the instruction easier to understand or the pasta more fresh! I find I can actually make fresh pasta about as fast as I can make dry.Get the water on the stove at the same time you make the pasta dough.By the time the water boils you are rolling the pasta.Wonderful.
Excellent accessory
We've had this for a couple of years now: excellent, high quality product.

Extruded pasta -- for rolled pasta, get a crank roller!
We make a lot of pasta at our house.Because of arthritus in my hands, hand kneeding is out of the question -- so to make up a batch of dough, I use either my Simac -- my bread machine -- or my food processor.Any of the three will make acceptable pasta dough.However you do need to know going in that the dough is going to be tougher, harder, and less pliable than any bread or cookie dough.It's basically a damp flour rock.
EASY PASTA
I'm not sure what the other complaints are about.There are no new pasta makers on the market and this was previously considered the best.This is not a "pasta for dummies" machine.You need to use common sense and alrady feel comfortable cooking.But is is a million times easier than pasta from scratch.I love this machine and will use it for years to come. . .

Very Disappointed
I bought the Simac MX700 PastaMatic Pasta Maker to replace my Cuisinart pasta maker.My Cuisinart was a bull at making pasta.It made 1-1/2 pounds at a time and was never a problem.I do not feel the same way about the Simac.Mine would overheat during extruding.Also, it barely made enough pasta to feed my family of 4.It finally died after 1-1/2 years of use.When I say died I mean it started smoking and making very strange noises. Also, there is no way I was going to send it back to Italy for service. I have resigned myself to purchasing homemade pasta at the store. I wish I could find a better pasta machine.What I really wish is that Cuisinart still made a pasta machine. ... Read more

Easy, even for clumsy thumbed people!
I am not a great cook.I love to cook - but I was intimidated reading some of the other reviews, so although I really wanted the machine, I wasn't sure how it would all turn out.Well, don't be afraid!Its pretty easy.
good entry level pasta machine, great fun!
I bought this pasta machine 6 months ago, and I've used it at least once or twice a month ever since. I also bought one for my mother and taught her how to use it. This machine really just replaces a rolling pin and a big knife for cutting noodles (how my mom has been making hers).
Awesome machine
This machine is great.I use it all the time to make homemade noodles for soup and peorogies for my family.My grandmother used this same kind of machine all my life to make her peorogies, it brings back alot of memories.

Even the longest fresh fettuccine or linguine won't touch the counter when draped on the arms of this sturdy pasta drying rack. The rack stands 16-1/2 inches high, including a heavy, stable, 7/8-inch-thick base. Assembly (and disassembly for storage) is simple. The 3/4-inch center post screws into the base. Four 18-inch dowels then slide through holes in the post, providing eight arms--cunningly angled so they don't interfere with one another--on which to hang fresh pasta to dry before going into the pot, refrigerator, or freezer. As is traditional, the rack is made of unfinished wood so pasta strands don't slide off. Read more

• Four 18-inch wood dowels provide eight arms for drying fresh pasta
• Drying rack stands 16-1/2 inches high
• Heavy, 7/8-inch-thick base for stability

Simple design, but very effective
I love this pasta rack!Before I bought this pasta rack, I was forced to dry my pasta on the counter.I would sprinkle the counter with flour and then begin the layering of the pasta, the towels and the flour.In other words, it was a big mess.But now, since I bought the Norpro Pasta Drying Rack, pasta drying is a cinch and very easy to clean up.As soon as I roll out and cut the pasta dough, I simply drape it over the wooden dowels to dry.No flour, no towels, no mess.I usually make two lbs of pasta and have never run out of room on the rack.I know that the design is very simple and the wood is not the strongest on the market, but it really serves its purpose and serves it well.

Convenient
This pasta drier is very convenient, but be warned that it is only big enough to hold about 4-6 servings of spaghetti.One thing I love about this drier is that it comes apart very easily with no tools and can be stored in a drawer.
Norpro Pasta Drying Rack is a lifesaver
This is a great pasta drying rack!I have limited counter space, so I got one of these to help and it works SO nice!It's easy to set up, easy to use, easy to store - I don't have a bad thing to say about it.Highly recommend! ... Read more

Making your own pasta is enough of an adventure without having to find places to hang it out to dry. That's what all those clotheslines in Italy are used for when they're not drying clothes. This wooden rack takes about 10 minutes to put together (really) with a Phillips screwdriver. It stands 15 inches high, and has 12 wooden dowels upon which you can hang your fettuccine, spaghetti, capellini, and the like. Go for it. Making fresh pasta is fun and worth it--and if it doesn't work out, you can always use it to hang your socks out to dry. Ciao! Read more

Features

• The ideal tool for hanging long fresh pasta
• Quick and easy 10-minute assembly with Phillips screwdriver
• 12 removable wooden dowels provide up to 12 feet of hanging space
• Measures 12 by 13 by 15 inches
• Attractive all natural wood construction

Inexpensive, convenient
I've had one of these for about 10 years now, and it works fine.I have to admit when I first bought it, I was a little taken aback at how flimsy it was.However, as another reviewer pointed out, you're holding a few ounces of pasta, not a 10 pound roast.As for those who say the dowels are too close together, you need to use your noodle (pun intended) and learn how to think a little.I actually like how this one works.Unlike other dryers, the dowels are easily removed from the rack.I start with all the dowels out of the rack.I pick up a dowel, and when the pasta from my extruder or roller is the right length, I just drape it over the dowel, cut it off the pasta machine, and repeat until the dowel is full.Then I place it in the rack, pick up another dowel and repeat.When the pasta is dry, I just hold the dowel over a pot of boiling water or a freezer bag, and slide the pasta off.No big deal.
pasta dryer
I feel this product is poorly constructed. I would like it better if I was able to fold it for storage.

Pay twelve dollars for two dollars worth of wood
Oh boy. Did I ever get taken with this. I opened the box and out came tumbling an assorted quantity of wooden dowels, frame sticks and cheap screws. Well, I bought it so I might as well put it together. The result is a cheap "pasta dryer" made of cheap wood. You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, as they say and you can't make a good product out of wood that looks like it is made from scrap wood. This pasta dryer is flimsy and cheap. Hanging pasta on it is a pain and the wood screws start to rust. I'll be using this stupid thing as firewood for the winter. This product should be taken off Amazon. It is a sham. ... Read more

Just call it "Ravioli-Making for Dummies." I certainly qualify, having admired but never attempted this tricky-looking Italian entrée. Yet within half an hour, I had made and rolled out a sheet of pasta dough (the recipe is in the kit); laid it over the metal ravioli mold; used the plastic mold to indent the dough; filled the indentations with a three-cheese mixture (recipe also in the kit); laid a second pasta sheet on top; and rolled over it with the rolling pin to seal the dough casings. I turned the metal mold over, and out plopped 10 perfect, plump ravioli, which tasted delicious after several minutes of boiling. Read more

• Makes 10 ridged ravioli casings
• Easy step-by-step process

I would NOT recommend this product
I had a hard time with this product. The item does not cut the dough well and the ravioli kept opening as a result of this. In my opinion, I like the size of a 12 count ravioli maker better. This 10 count makes ravioli thats too large.

A couple tips...
I have used this a few times, and found I needed to lightly brush the metal mold with oil before laying down the first sheet of pasta, or else the dough stuck and was difficult to remove.Also, I think brushing the edges around the filling with egg or water will help give a better seal.I make 40 raviolis at a time and they have all kept their contents from spilling out into the boiling water.It takes me about 2 hours to get the job done from making the pasta to cooking the raviolis (I use the KA pasta attachment which is wonderful).It's actually a bit of work, but the taste is otherworldly and definately worth it when you can spare the time.

VillaWare Ravioli Maker
I bought this to use with the KA pasta roller attachment. My ravioli have been perfect. My only complaint is that it doesn't seem sharp enough to easily cut the ravioli. I go over and over with my rolling pin and still have to do final cutting with my pizza wheel. If not for this, it would be 5 stars plus. ... Read more

These sturdy plastic plates work in place of the metal cutters of your food grinder to produce thin and thick spaghetti noodles, thin flat noodles, wider lasagna noodles, and macaroni. Turn the mixer speed to 10, drop walnut-size pieces of dough into the food tray, and catch the noodles as they're extruded through the plates. When you're through, put them in the dishwasher. Then store them neatly and easily in the included case, which doubles as a food stomper. Read more

Features

• Use with KitchenAid's food grinder attachment to expand a stand mixer's flexiblity
• Ideal for making thin or thick spaghetti, flat noodles, macaroni, and lasagna noodles
• Includes five interchangeable plastic plates, bowl clips, and a cleaning tool

• All parts dishwasher safe for easy clean-up

Pasta plates
We received our pasta plates in a timely manner.Although there was one plate missing from the package, a telephone call to a representative of the company brought the plate to us immediately.The whole process of ordering was quite pleasant.

Nice Product, So-So Usability
This attachment is easy to use and, more importantly for homemade pasta lovers, it is easy to clean.It's made of durable plastic resin and and comes with a space-saving storage design.The biggest drawback is that it comes with pretty boring plates: Two types of spaghetti, macaroni,lasagna, and egg noodle.Would have been far cooler if they had included plates for a large gauge rigatoni and a fusilli.

Don't waste your money
Even if you already own the food grinder don't waste your money on the pasta attachment.Since this is more of an extrusion pasta maker, the pasta does not get the nice thin texture that is necessary in fresh pasta.I made lasagna noodles from this attachment and had to roll out every noodle by hand after it had been extruded because it wasn't thin enough.

I like It
I read all the reviews before buying this item and decided to go ahead and give it try with the idea in mind that if it was lousy at making pasta, I would use it for making sausage.So far, I have been successful at both.I have had the pasta maker for a couple of months and use it twice a week to make pasta.I think it's a nice machine.It's a little tricky to get the dough right but it's worth the effort to learn.In the beginning, stick to the same brand of flour and use the same measuring utensils until you know what the correct consistency of the dough is.Once you get the hang of that, don't expect your pasta to be the same length.The pasta that extrudes through the die is always longer in the middle with the side pieces at times being several inches shorter.Of course this doesn't affect the taste but it is rather annoying.
They should call this a sausage maker Pasta at your own risk
We were so excited to get this machine only to find out that it is mainly made of acrylic easy to break plastic. When we tried to make fettuccini our first try it got so overloaded we thought it would explode, as the front plates began to crack. The parts clearly could not manage the pressure. We were able to make sausage without trouble but I got it for Pasta! I was unable to return this item (bought online) and am very disappointed. I wished I'd purchased a metal pasta maker. Pain to clean and easily broken - was not worth what it cost.

Should've known
I purchased mine at a retail store at a typical "as seen on tv" discounted price and returned it within a couple days.The "locking ring" that held the mixer in its place broke in half after the first use.I could have purchased the part through Ronco's website for $7.00 + S/H (for a molded plastic ring!), but if it broke on my first use (and I followed the recipe in the booklet carefully), it'll surely break again - not very economical or convenient.

Lello Pasta Maker 3000 Pro
The pasta maker works not as efficiency as I expected. Especially, the dough feeding mechanism has big problem. It almost could not feed dough down to extrusion chamber after the dough well-prepared.

Works just like it says it will
I checked out several brands before deciding on this one. I followed the directions exactly, and the pasta came out perfect. it makes up to 3 pounds of pasta each time.That's a lot of pasta. But, you can freeze the leftover that you don't need right now. the noodles are not sticky and they cook fast. the fettucine cooked in 3 minutes after water boiled. I have no regrets.

great for 100% whole wheat pasta

broken after one use!
I got this pasta maker as a gift, and after the first use the knob used to set the thickness of the pasta broke off and so did a piece of the handle used to turn the rollers.All it would make after that is a flat piece of pasta with varying thickness.The company is going to charge me to send it to them and back, even if they decide to exchange the product, and all correspondences must be done by mail (no call-in number) so I'm not even hopeful for an exchange.

Good
I was very pleased with the item. However, it is good to know that the machine can only handle small amounts of pasta at one time, so the process is a bit time consuming.

Great Pasta takes practice.
Bought the Machine, and got the correct flour.Made up the dough, and that was a success.Followed the instructions, used the vice to hold the machine to the table, then started off by cleaning the machine with a small piece of dough to get rid of machine oil.

Must-have for the amateur pasta chef!
I started making pasta a couple years ago with a hand-cranked machine. But because the clamp was too small for my countertop, and I only have two hands (i.e. not enough to hold the thing in place, while cranking the rollers, feeding the dough in, and catching the dough coming out) it didn't come out of my kitchen cabinet too often.

So easy and so much fun!
I've read some horror stories about making pasta with a machine, so I was prepared for it to be a challenge.It couldn't have been easier!It rolled and cut effortlessly.The key must be the dough ... which can't be sticky or overly dry.I made mine with 3 eggs and 300 grams of bread flour in a Kitchenaid mixer with a dough hook.The dough was a little on the dry side so I added a few drops of water.Then I wrapped the dough in plastic wrap for 30 minutes and let it rest before rolling.There was absolutely NO clean-up needed for the machine when I was finished.Great fun!

wonderfully easy and very stable!
This Pasta maker is so much fun, easy and stable. I had used another one with my kids and it wobbled quite a bit while turnig the handles, making it harder for the kids to use.The Atlas 150 doesn't move at all, and cuts great pasta. You will never go back to the boxed stuff again!

Well worth the money!
I just recently purchased this pasta maker after attempting to hand-roll my dough.As hand rolling took much time and caused hand cramps and ugly pasta, I decided to buy a machine.It's amazing!I don't think I'll ever go back to eating boxed pasta again!It looks better than pasta from a box and by making it myself, I can add whatever I like to the dough, such as fresh basil.Yum! ...
